What distinguishes a fungi from a plant?

contains a different type of photosynthetic pigment than plants

does not contain the photosynthetic pigment chlorophyll

no root type structures

cannot obtain materials from soil

Fungi lack root type structures (instead they have (Rhizoids) like those in plants. The Plantae kingdom include autotrophic organisms capable of manufacturing their own organic nutrients like glucose from inorganic raw materials-carbon dioxide and water, a process known as photosynthesis. Fungi differ from plants in the way that they get their nutrition, and the way they reproduce. First plants gather nutrients from the soil and, at the same time, anchor themselves, through roots,; fungi on the other hand, do the process with root-like projections, or false roots called rhizoids.
